    Do many forum members have an ICE band / dog tag / sticker on them or their bikes when they go out riding?

    If you do what do you use and where did you buy it from?

    I’ve just recently addressed this. I’ve written my wifes moble number as I.C.E. on the fluro inside of my Camelbak pocket with permanent marker.

    On my phone and on my GPS startup screen. Nothing on me or the bike.

    Also have a SPOT tracker for longer “out-there” trips.

    Do you know where the emergency services would normally look for this info?

    They’ll keep looking until they find something or exhaust their search.

    My phone (iphone) has my ICE info saved as my lock screen so no need to enter pin to access.

    Also use Road ID.

    On start up of my Garmin and also Mrs Carlos mobile written in the most obvious pocket of my back pack.

    if I’m out on the roadie, a note stuffed in a jersey pocket

    The phone has a passcode on it so pointless being on there i guess

    Lots of phones will let you set up an ICE number visible from the Lock Screen.
    There are Apps that provide that function.
    You could add it to to the Lock Screen image.

    If we find you lying injured we will search your pockets, bag, wallet, phone, or anything else on you to find out who you are. We’ll bugger about with your phone, where possible, looking for ‘Home’ or ‘Mum’ numbers if we have to. If we need it, and when we need it (not always the first priority), if it’s there to be found we’ll find it. As a rule 🙂

    Road ID user here too, and it’s been used once when I was unconscious at the Velodrome 🙁

    Annoyingly I lost it last Sunday at Glentress, although had a new one on the way anyway, but got a note through the door earlier from Royal Mail saying I need to pay £13 to pick it up, which is tax plus an £8 handling fee. 👿

    Never been charged import tax before on their products..

    I’m fairly certain I’d end up John Doe, not that it matters much, I don’t have any extreme allergies or medical conditions for them to worry about, we can deal with ID when I’m conscious again.

    They could stick my phone to my thumb if they want to unlock it and call anyone of the 12 numbers on it and speak to someone who knows me.

    Perhaps I should stick a label on the back of my phone – “ICE, Don’t call my Mum, she’s useless in a crisis and lives in the Middle East, it’ll cost me a fortune for nothing.”

    Honestly, once the Princess of Wales Hospital called her, “your son is badly hurt, he’s come off his Mountain Bike, broken both arms and lost a lot of blood, if you rush you might be able to see him before he goes into surgery” which she heard as “your son has fallen off his motorbike, he’s in Bristol, it’s not urgent, he’ll be home soon” honestly it wasn’t even a voicemail they actually said it to her.

    Helmet has ICEdot, not sure many people would even think to look on a helmet or know what ICEdot is though.

    I just carry a credit card. Works as an emergency get out in pretty nearly all situations, and it’ll suffice for someone to find out more about me if need be.
